Aztec Print & Purple Lipstick ~ Vegas Look #3

*peeks head in* Hello…anybody out there?? I already know what you’re going to say. “What happened to you posting for a full week?!” Basically I went out of town at the end of last week and wasn’t smart enough to schedule my posts ahead of time, please forgive me 😉 Let’s just pick up where I left off with my daytime birthday look from Vegas. 

 Sandals : Target ~ Romper : Forever 21 ~ Bag : Target

I love this romper!! My favorite part is the peek-a-boo detailing in the back, which was perfect for the ridiculously hot weather. I have to admit that it was a little shorter than normal for me but I was feeling pretty confident that day. I think 31 looks good on me!! I also decided to try a new lip color; a mixture of MAC’s Heroine & Violetta. For whatever reason, I caught lots of flack in our vlog about this lipstick choice but I absolutely loved it!! It doesn’t hurt to step outside the box and try something different.  

What do you think? Is purple lipstick something you would give a chance or too bold for your taste?

XOXO,

    The lipstick is GORGEOUS on you. I thought so from the vlog to begin with, but I can see how it shows a different color on footage than it does in the still photos. Outfit is cute also! Go head girl…

    Gabe you got your sexy back you looking awfully hot on your Birthday; just as hot as that Vegas weather. I love your entire look. I don't wear makeup; but really thought there was nothing wrong with that color on you. I would absolutely love to make myself a wig like the one your sport'n. Would you be willing share how you accomplished that. And if somewhere down the line I happen to miss it. Please point me in the correct direction. Thanks

    Gabe you make 31 look very fabulous– and I'm loving this outfit and the lip color. Everything looks tasteful and fly. I'm going to start taking a little more risks with my style. Thanks for the inspiration.Mandi
